ADDITIONAL KEY DATA
The Jan. 4 episode drew 345,000 live and same-night viewers. When the full 7-day viewership was tallied, the total was 421,000.
The prior 7-day viewership tallies were 330,000 (12/28), 352,000 (12/21), 330,000 (12/14), 352,000 (12/7), and 198,000 (11/30).
When Collision’s live viewership dropped up against WWE specials on Nov. 30 (Survivor Series) and Dec. 14 (SNME), the 7-day viewership increase has been 84,000 and 54,000 respectively. The average otherwise in November and December was 78,000. So typical AEW Collision viewers who watch WWE instead on Saturday night don’t catch up on Collision on delay in larger than usual numbers, which points toward the idea that many AEW Collision viewers not only prefer WWE specials, but don’t value Collision enough to watch it on delay if they miss it or got their “Saturday night pro wrestling fix” and don’t schedule time to watch more wrestling later.
